Winning the WTC is a rather meaningless achievement anyway in my opinion. If they don't want him, it would be good, if he played Pörtschach instead. They gave some wildcards to foreigners in the past, so it's not impossible.

I would be disappointed because I will be in Düsseldorf... some world class players came just to practice there during the tournament.. for example Guga and Kim Clijsters... maybe Kiwi will just be there no matter what Kühnen says... there are so many top players who need someone for practice

yes... I bet he would give everything to be fit for Munich... but the acceptance list for Roland Garros is out and he signed in WITH entry protection which he didn`t do for Monte Carlo and Rome... so he is positive about playing there... at least it`s a little bit of a good sign....
No news about Munich though... apart from Rudi Berger mentioning in an interview last Friday that Kiwi called him because of the wirld card...

that depends on the way they asked him... after all this trouble that is made about World Team Cup he has a right to make a strange face I think... but more worries causes the fact that he went back to Donaustauf today well... it`s not far from Munich... let`s be optimistic

I still can't believe how bad this all turned out. If I remember just back how I felt after it happend last year. "Oh yeah, maybe he is ready for Wimbledon again." or after the first surgery "cool, I think everything is going fine now", "it's only his left hand, the right hand would have been worse" four:love already sounded different last year saying something like he hopes it's not the beginning of the end of his career. I thought this was well exaggerated and too pessimistic. We hope it's not, but this comment was more damn ugly close to the reality than I ever wanted it to be

the ATP just links to the WTC website... to an article that was written weeks ago... I guess Kiwi himself doesn`t know if he will be fit in time yet.... we just have to wait and be patient..

since Becker and Mayer showed nothing on clay this year I'd choose Waske, Kohlschreiber and Haas for singles players. With Michael Kohlmann for doubles there would be still a place left for Kiwi in the team.
